It is possible to install 2 LPARs on such box without VIOS. But there are some prerequisites for this and I don't see from your message, if you have enough resources. AFAIU from your previous messages you have HEA in the box. The question is, if you have split backplane feature installed in your server or at least 2 FC HBAs? If you have D24, you should have additional SCSI controller. I don't know how many space do you need for each of the LPARs and how many disks do you have in D24, but you can assign e.g. internal disks to the 1st LPAR and D24 to the 2nd LPAR.
If you want to have more flexibility, yes, it is better to have VIOS installed, although I'm not sure, if you really need it. AFAIU from your posts, you don't have "real" HMC and installed it in VMware. After it you tried to install VIOS from the HMC using installios. Have you tried to install VIOS using "hardware" DVDs? Or just uploaded images to the HMC and install over the network? How many resources did you assign to the VIOS?
